Ardkinglas Castle, Country house on Loch Fyne, Scotland.

The estate spans over 12,000 acres of hills and parkland, featuring a grand house constructed in 1906 by architect Sir Robert Lorimer.

The original castle, dating from 1396, contained three towers within a courtyard and served as a stronghold for the Campbell family until 1795.

Mary Queen of Scots visited the castle during her journey from Carrick to Inveraray in July 1563, marking its significance in Scottish royal history.

The woodland gardens remain accessible to visitors throughout the year, while the house accepts group visits exclusively through advance reservations.

The estate operated its own narrow gauge railway from 1866 to 1890, transporting materials and supplies across the extensive grounds.
